Attributes help

[Mugatu]

Hi, I've been setting up my first store and have been trying to set up attributes so I can limit the amount of clicks, searching my customer base will need to make.

 

I've read all the documentation and tried most things but can't seem to get what I need.

 

It's all based on size and weight. 90% of our manufactured products are:

 

Size: 5L, 25L, 200L this roughly equates to 5Kg, 25Kg, 200L. So I want to apply attributes two product XYZ and drop down will have eg. 5L = $25, 25L = $80 200L = $450

 

The size and weight impact I have sorted. But impact on price is actually a fixed one. So it will be time consuming to work out % increase on the default 5L when the 3 sizes are fixed. Can I just enter a price, it seems to have price impact $0.00 or % increase.

 

The product range will be different pricing, xyz will have 3 different sizes and prices, ABC will have the same. They will have the attribute of 3 different sizes and weight though.

Is there a question here? because it is not very clear.

Probably too much info. Simply do I set up the products as individual products Product xyz 5L = $25.00 (weighs 5kg) Same Product xyz 25L (weighs 25kg) $80.00

 

Or does attribute work in this scenario. Most I have read is about changing colour, shoe size etc which really doesn't have much impact on weight, sell price.

 

I also want a specific price, not increase default by %.

 

My size combinations are:

 

5L

25L

200L

 

5L = 5Kg

25L = 25Kg

200L = 200Kg

 

Prices will then vary by product.

Dimensions will be the same

Attribute have a price impact of amount, not %

 

You will need to create combinations for each product you want to use, and specify the price impact for each combination.

Here are two tutorials on creating Product attributes and adding product combinations in Prestashop 1.5;

But how can I add combinations to more than one product at a time.?? I have 300 products and all have combinations.. 10 different s.. do not tell i have to do it one by one...

Since combinations need to have 1 attribute from each group in a combination, the have to be entered per product.

 

Most of our attribute modules http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/9-attribute-modules have an option to copy ALL the combinations from one product to another (or to all the products in a category), which may help speed you up (keep in mind, it copies ALL the combinations and deletes any existing ones the "target" product has.)
